Home full-time, happy to be active

Pet care experience

I am a mother of two children and three fur-babies. My husband is in the Navy, currently stationed at the Pentagon. I was a teacher for 6 years, and am now looking to spend more time with my children and pets, so I have left the classroom to pursue this instead. Our dogs are all around 50 lbs and two are special needs (one with autism, one with high anxiety). We have a Rottweiler mix, two hound mixes, Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, and an American boxer mix. All of our dogs are rescues and came with a multitude of their issues, but are now happy, healthy, and well-adjusted. I believe in positive reenforcement, which has worked well for our pets thus far. I can't wait to love on your pets while you are away!

Kate got her first dog when she was in college. She adopted a dog that had been returned to the shelter many times. When she found out that one of the other dogs at the shelter was only calm when Kate's dog was there, she took in Judge too. Both dogs have special needs and are skittish, nervous, and afraid of EVERYTHING! After several years of her patience, care, and love, both dogs have improved greatly. While they will never be 'normal' and return the love she's given them, she has never given up on them, and they live their lives in comfort with a caring 'mom'.
